as I’ve gotten older and maybe more well known in the photography industry I recognized that my jump had turned into more of a state of hesitation and maybe a tiptoe to the edge before backing away….because it got uncomfortable. I was more fearful to take risks. I was less likely to try a new editing style, attempt new poses, or just get weird with my clients. Suddenly, all my work started to look the same and while it was new to my client, it was a structure, a system, and, well, a normal and comfortable way of doing things. It was efficient. But that doesn’t mean it was good for me.
